Good evening, Mayor and City Council Members,
I would like to ask whether the City of Menlo Park has reached out to other cities, such as Palo Alto, to learn about their transportation programs and explore solutions that could be implemented here.
Have you also contacted Redi-Wheels and other transportation service providers to understand what services are available, where the gaps exist, and how Menlo Park residents who lack reliable transportation can be better served?
I continue to see people throughout Menlo Park who appear to have limited or no access to transportation. This is a significant concern because transportation is essential for getting to medical appointments, grocery stores, community services, and other everyday needs.
I encourage the City Council to look beyond our city limits, learn from successful programs in neighboring communities, and work directly with transportation providers to identify practical solutions. If similar programs already exist nearby, we should be exploring how to adapt or expand them to meet the needs of Menlo Park residents.
What steps has the City taken so far, and what specific actions are being considered to address the transportation needs of residents who currently lack access to these services?
Thank you for your time and for your continued work to make Menlo Park a more accessible and inclusive community.
Eduardo L Hernandez
Belle Haven Resident
